t Air inlet (filter)
Air is taken in through the filter to cool the light-source
lamp. If the filter is blocked or if something that obstructs
the flow of air is placed around the projector, heat may
build up inside and could cause a fire. For required
space, refer to “Precautions for Installation” on page 15.

Controls and Features
Installing Batteries
Install batteries in the remote control. If the remote control has started to work erratically, replace the
batteries.
1 Open the back cover.
Open the back cover in the direction of the arrow.
2 Install the batteries.
Place the two supplied batteries (AA/R6-size) in the
remote control as illustrated below.
3 Close the back cover.
First fit the claws on the back cover in the case, then
close the back cover in the direction of the arrow.
Precautions for using batteries
If batteries are used incorrectly, they may crack or
leak liquid. This could cause a fire, burn, malfunction,
or staining or damaging of the surroundings.
Beware of the following:
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
•Do not mix different types of batteries as they differ in
characteristics.
•Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
Be sure to put the minus (–) end in first to avoid
short-circulating.
Use only designated batteries.
Remove the batteries if the remote is not to be used for a
prolonged period.
•When the batteries are exhausted, replace them
immediately. Otherwise, liquid could leak, or malfunction
could occur due to leaking liquid. If the leaked liquid
contacts the skin, wipe it off with a cloth, otherwise the skin
could become rough.
•Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them.
Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use.
However, the batteries supplied are for confirming
operation and may not run that long. When the remote
control starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries
with new ones.

Installing the Projector
Projection Distance and Screen Size
•The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (optional) to be used. When the aspect ratio
of the screen is 4:3, the range is as follows and you need to install the projector within this range.
Lens type
Approximate projection distance
GL-M2910G 0.77 m to 4.03 m
GL-M2915SG 1.76 m to 4.50 m
GL-M2920ZG 2.77 m to 19.71 m
GL-M2930SZG 4.74 m to 29.87 m
*: The value for projection distance is a guide (reference) one. The projected image size may vary depending on the
manufacturing tolerance of the projection lens.
Notes
•For detailed relationship between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix A. The relationships for
both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios are listed there.
•When installing a screen, use a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.
(A 16 : 9 aspect-ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture is projected.)
•The diagonal length of a 16:9 aspect-ratio screen is about 91.8% that of a 4:3 aspect-ratio screen. This value is only a guide
(reference).
If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture tends to become pale and dim. Use a curtain or
other means to shield the light.
Set the projector horizontally on a surface that is within the range of adjustable angles (up/down adjustment angle: +7° ;
horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°).
If the keystone is adjusted, the projected screen becomes smaller.
•When hanging from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture (not supplied).
Optional Lenses
This projector does not include a lens. You can select one of the optional lenses to adjust the projection distance. Please ask
your authorized dealer or service center to install the lens.
